I have problem on my web. I use joomla in version 3.4 with RS Simpslide module. Above a module is listed error: Warning: is_writable() [function.is-writable]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): xxx in xxx/libraries/joomla/filesystem/path.php on line 239

This module doesn’t work. It shows those three dots and no matter what you do, it won’t call the images. I have checked and confiormed the folder paths like fifty times, and zzzzzz…zzzzzzz…zzzzzzzzz nothing. At one point it said I need to download and install Flash. I already have Flash in my PC. After four hours, I have disabled it. Thanks.

I am using Firefox 4.0.1, Joomla 2.5. Have installed and published SimpSlide. It is hanging, just showing three dots. Options are set to “BASIC”. Image directory has one gif image file in it, about 16K.

I inserted “hello” lines in the php code to try to see where it is hanging. It is hanging on this line: ===== require JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath(‘mod_rssimpslide’, $params->get(‘layout’, ‘default’)); ===== which is in the file mod_rssimpslide.php
